Agriculture is regarded as the solid
foundation of nation. The tillers of
the soil are industrious, healthy,
sober-minded, reliable in time of dan
ger, simple and honest in their views
OF political questions. But it is prob
able that it is because they feed the
world that they are regarded as the
rock upon which the great nations
rest. Food in war or in days of peace
is the first thing essential to existence
and success, and the steady, indus,ri-
Gus class that is engaged in agricul-
ture is therefore regarded as the mos.
useful and valuable in the nation.
The United States leads the world
IN the amount that it produces in
agriculture.
Not only in the aggregate of all in
dustries is the United States far in adj,
vance, but in this single industry, that
is looked upon as the most important
in any nation, it far outranks all coun-
tries. In the comparatively brief

Potato Culture.

After careful study OF the causes OF
potato rot and means of prevention,
Ontario Agricultural College sets forth
the following rules:
l. AS soon as discovered, dig the po-
tatoes. Delay will allow il to spread
to the stems and thence to the tubers.
If it reaches these and damp weather
comes, rot will certainly appear.
2. After digging, the potatoes should
be put in cool, dry place, thus sur
rounding them with conditions unfa-
vorable for the growth of the fungus,
if any happens to be upon them.
3. Growing early varieties is worthy
OF consideration, so that they may ma
ture before the season arrives when
this parasite is likely to affect the crop
4. All potato stalks in affected lands,
should be gathered and burned, go as
to destroy the millions OF spores which
may be upon them.
5. Use none but good seed. Ii al
all affected, reject them; and plant in
we'll drained land. If the potatoes tC
be used for seed have been taken from
cellars where affected ones were kept
they are likely to have the microscopic
spores on them and escape notice. II
would be best to get seed from dnaf-
fected districts.
6. 1t is scarcely necessary to remark
that it would be injudicious to PLAN
potatoes in the same field the following
year, after visitation of the "rot," in
asmuch as the ground may retain the
germs of disease.
7. Avoid planting upon heavy clay
soil, but prefer a light and dry soil
This presents the fewest conditions
suitable for the growth of the fungus.
s. Plant the varieties least affected.

Because poultry is claimed to pay
large profits IN proportion to the
amounts invested therein, it does not
follow that all who venture in the
poultry business will get rich or make
money. 1t requires capital to con-
duet great enterprises, and if large
amounts are expected large sums mu t
be invested. 1t is mistake to lead
persons into the belief that there are
enormous profits in poultry. But few
persons have large sums invested, and
a test has never yet been made as to
what could really be accomplished.
Those who have succeeded know that
it is the man or woman, and not al.
ways the birds, that makes the success.
Like any other business, one mus
thoroughly understand it. Keeping a
few iocks of fowls, and venturing upon
the management of thousands, are
different operations. A small flock
could be well kept where thousands
could not exist. Yet there are no i'm.
possibilities, and as we progress in the
art OF poultry raising, the business be-
comes easier and more perfectly un.

paragus on the sleeps of Akhal-Tekiz
1t has not been botanically identified,
but it is represented as growing per-
fectly wild, the stalks being nearly as
thick as a mans arm and attaining a
height of five or six feet, so that one of
them is said to suffice ten Russian
soldiers for a meal. If the preference
OF experts for wild asparagus finds
justification in this variety, and its
flavor is described as equal to that
of the best European kinds, asparagus
lovers may have q good time before
them.

Give the pig what you feed the
worthless cur--the necessary append
age to so many farms. If the pigs are
fed what he consumes, there will be a
gain on the farm in many ways. There
will be one more fat hog for the family
supply or for market. There will be
peace, where with his presence there
are often wry tempers. The stock on
the farm is quieter and more easily
controlled. Substitute pig for the
pup, and place yourself on sure basis
for profit.

About Mistakes,

The man that never makes mistakes
never makes anything. He is of no
use in this poor laundering world. Not
that have anything against him. o
no! have never seen him, but have
heard about him. Imet fellow only
yesterday who thought he was twin
brother to the man that never makes
any mistakes. But he wasn't, and
there was mistake number one. Then
l began to watch this fellow and to
count and IN less than half an hour he
had made more real shameful blunders
than anybody met that day.
And this is fact that have often
noticed: The man or boy that is quite
sure he don't know how to make .
mistake piles them up faster than any
body else. But they are not big mis-
takes; no indeed! They are little ones
just about the size of very little man.
The large errors are usually made By
the large men. There was the great
soldier Napoleon. He made . mons
trous blunder when he went to Russia;
and, as nearly as we can find out
General Grant made another at Shiloh.
Now you and wouldn't have got into
any such hole-we know batter. And
yet il we should stand on each others
shoulders it probably wouldn't make a.
big man as either of these.
Mistakes, slips, errors, blunders-
they will creep in, and it only makes
matters worse TO pretend that you are
different from other people and never
get your foot into the wrong boot. But
don't be ashamed Of it; go right ahead
and dQ the best you can. A locomo-
tive engine without any fire will never
60 off the track; but that isn't the kind
Of an engine you want to be. II you
60 at all, you Are liable sometimes to
60 wrong. but be always ready to come
back again when you know It.
But there is one class Of mistakes
that is worth while to be afraid of and
ashamed Of: the mistakes Of selfsh.
ness, and meanness. and cowardics.
Yea dread these and despiss them,
and 20 slow when you come TO then.
they are bad mistakes 10 make --Me{
